I think the clothes in Belle de Jour are very important to the style of the film. Even today, it is still timeless.

I'm not so sure that younger people today really appreciate the enormous bravery that went into the creation and production of that film, or how important a film at the time it really was.

My Woman (Ma Ma Belle - Early Version)
Got love, if thats what you need
I got three or four babies sittin on my knee
I got love waitin for you
I come sneakin round the corner of the avenue
You gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle, before I get you
Theres one thing thats on my mind
And thats getting hold of you before I serve my time
Ill keep on, with my heavy load
Till I see you come a strollin down that open road
You gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle, before I get you
I love you ma-ma-ma belle
Thats why I want to get it all well Im sure you can tell

Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep
Cant you hear me once ma-ma-ma belle
You gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle, before I get you

Lulla Belle
Lulla Belle won the big show
Got her picture framed by the window
In the hall where lovely girls go
Lulla Belle goes, Lulla Belle no
Lulla Belle, no, no, no, no, no
Lulla Belle, no, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
Beauty queen that you are
Put you down for a place in the stars
Take your picture for all the world to see
Lulla Belles leaving the ball
No more reason to stay
Or people to see
Cos everyone here knows your name
From the light on your face
In the frame that hangs
In the hall where lovely girls go
Lulla Belle goes, Lulla Belle no
Lulla Belle, no, no, no, no, no
Lulla Belle, no, ooh, oh, oh, ooh

The clothes back in those days were made so much better than clothes are today. They actually took time to make clothes to fit a woman's body. Today they make clothes that fit sizes, so it stretches to fit this and that.

Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important.

Style
Style must not be underrated
Style is often overlooked
Style is never in the papers
I read it like an open book
Style
If you cant see the substance
Style shows how its organized
Style is looking for your money
Its in the way you paint your eyes
There is always a way
A way things are done
Ive been learning my abcs
I know what is 10, I know what is 1 in
Style is a naked look
Underneath your style
Style of a different place
Talking through your style
Even the way you hide it
Reveals the thing you hide
Your style may never cause a riot
Its still a style to have no style
There is always a way
To light up a lamp
Its been a crazy year all around
The check never came
I cant let it cramp my
Style is a world for sale
You cant buy this style
Style that you cant resist
You wont cramp my style

L'Amour qui me tourmente
L'Amour qui me tourmente
Je trouve si plaisant
Que tant plus il s'augmente
Moins j'en veux estre exemt :
Bien que jamais le somme
Ne me ferme les yeux,
Plus amour me consomme
Moins il m'est ennuyeux.
Toute la nuit je veille
Sans cligner au sommeil,
Remembrant la merveille
Qui me tient en éveil,
Me representant celle
Que je voy tout le jour,
De qui l'image belle
Travaille mon sejour.
Toute nuit son image
Se montre devant moy :
Le trait de son visage
Tout tel qu'il est je voy :
Je voy sa belle bouche,
Et je voy son beau sein,
Ses beaux tetins je touche,
Et je baise sa main.
Le jour si ma Maistresse
Favorable m'a ris,
Il faut que j'en repesse
Toute nuit mes espris.
Si d'une oeillade gaye
Elle m'a fait faveur,
La nuit sa douce playe
Me chatouille le coeur.
S'elle égaye la place
De son bal gracieux,
Toute la nuit sa grace
Recourt devant mes yeux :
Si en douce merveille
J'ay ouy sa chanson,
Toute nuit en l'oreille
J'en regoute le son.
O heureuse ma vie
De jouïr d'un tel heur !
Non, non, je n'ay envie
D'avoir d'un dieu l'honneur,
Puis qu'à souhet je passe
Et la nuit et le jour,
Recueillant tant de grace
Du tourment de l'amour.

Save Me Today
Dare me not
Will you come and save me
Fear this place
That you will soon find me
Hold me close
You need to let me go
Take my hand
The end will be so slow
Free me today
I'm no longer a part of you
Save me today
I can no longer be with you
Corner me in
You don't know where I am
Take me away
You don't know who I am
Love me now
You never cared for me
Leave me be
Before I set myself free
Free me today
I'm no longer a part of you
Save me today
I can no longer be with you

I think the film is beautifully realised. His legacy as a journalist was recorded - as it were - well, and certainly the important issues of the '50s - or even today - are delivered and presented to the audience in a rather honest and objective way.

It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.

Gypsy Belle
Well I got me a southern lady.
She's my gypsy belle from Tennessee.
She's got long dark hair and skinny legs.
Lord she sets my spirit free.
Well she knows I like that good ol' whiskey,
and she knows what I'm lookin' for.
She's the finest lookin' little lady.
Well a man could never wish for more.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
Yes I know I ain't got much money,
but she makes me feel rich at heart.
Living with this kind o' lady
make any man reach the top.
Yes I know it ain't comin' easy
Lord I ask "Who's to tell"?
If I ever make a lot o' money,
well I'd give it to my Gypsy Belle.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.

I'm a former hippie, so clothes are important to me - your clothes defined you in that period. I guess clothes still defines people. But, I change a lot. I'm in my Brooks Brothers period now.
